Heads Will Roll For Your Insolence...And Maybe Some Hearts With It (Overblot!Riddle Rosehearts x Reader)
Tumblr media
How had things gone wrong so fast? Why were you here to begin with?  What was the deal with some of these crazy people in this crazy world?! Were you going mad?! Regardless of the millions of questions that buzzed in your mind, all you could focus on was the bloodshot, redheaded boy, Riddle Rosehearts, who was completely flipping his lid. Your little ragtag group seemingly had pushed the male to his edge with your constant questioning of his rules- well, the rules of the Queen Of Hearts, that is. The Headmaster of Night Raven College, Dire Crowley, was already placing his hands onto his hips and allowing his eyes to widen in both worry and fear. "Mr. Rosehearts, you mustn't! You know what will happen! If you keep using magic, your Magic Crystal will be covered in Blot!"  Despite the Headmaster's desperate cries, Riddle placed his hand onto his chest, his eyebrows furrowing even further than they had before. "I am….I AM ABSOLUTELY…POSITIVELY….DEFINITELY CORRREEEECCCTTTT!"  Riddle's childhood friend, Trey, was now screaming right back at him in his own, dire moment of fear. "RIDDDDDDDDDLLLEEEEEEEEEE!" But despite the cries and warnings, it was already too late. An odd, black mud-like substance began to seep up and spread out from the ground itself, wrapping itself around Riddle. All your group could do now was to stand by and watch this horrifying transformation take place. 
A creature, oddly like the one you encountered with the Shared Brain Cell Squad in the Dwarves' Mines, appeared behind Riddle. The entire rose maze of the Heartslabyl Dorm seemed to come to life as Riddle began to laugh- no, cackle- at this new surge of power he felt. "Hehehehehe….HAHAHAHAHAHA! Those foolish enough to disobey me….they have no place in my world. I am the law in my world! I am the rules! No response other than, 'Yes, Lord Riddle!' Will be accepted! IT'S OFF THE HEADS WITH ANYONE WHO DISOBEYS ME! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA!"  Crowley began to groan at the sight- both in worry and slight annoyance. "In all my years as Headmaster...to see a student Overblot right in front of me!" Grim was quick to vocalize your own concerns, his eyebrows raising and his eyes widening. "GGGHHHH- WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM?! THAT GUY HAS A DESPERATE AIR TO HIM NOW!" And you were very swift to join in. "He's completely losing it!"  Everyone near you began to pitch in and explain what Overblot was- a mixture of Boot buildup from too much magic use combined with negative energy. Crowley soon darted off, now evacuating the other students as quickly as he could from the dorm. Your friends boldly began to attack the now rampaging Prefect of Heartslabyl. Riddle turned his head, almost laughing at this pitiful display. Though, his initial reaction of laughter soon faded away with his bubbling rage. "This guy...that guy...I'LL TAKE YOUR HEADS OFF ALL AT ONCE!"  
Riddle charged, though not before he caught your gaze. You. This had all started when you arrived. Why, you had no business coming into his Unbirthday Party celebration on a mere rebellious freshman's behalf. And looking so cute in their uniform….should have been a crime. The split second your eyes met, Riddle sent a rather devilish smirk your way. He'd make a rule follower out of you, yet. Instead of going for the frontal attack he was originally planning, he spun around in a wide circle. The boys were sent flying off their feet, then smacked over into the nearby rose bushes by...whatever that monstrosity was behind Riddle. Cater, Deuce, and Grim were knocked out on impact. Ace and Trey struggled to stand, both gritting their teeth and fighting through the pain of some rose thorns now being lodged in their skin. Trey was the first one to speak up to you. "G-go on- run, [Y/n]! We'll handle him- get back to the school and gather the staff to help out!"  Ace joined right in with a nod. "Run and don't look back, you hear me?! We've got this little rugrat under control!" At their reassurances, you nod. You had no magic to begin with- what else could you possibly do? Riddle, however, wasn't going to let you go that easily…
Riddle simply stood completely still and watched you run off into the rose maze. The second you were out of his line of sight, he swiftly turned on his heels. Both of his arms swung back, making two heart-shaped rose trees soar back and knock out both Ace and Trey with the others. The King of Heartslabyl began to walk, albeit half angry and half amused. You were fiercely running, your heart practically pounding in your chest as you could hear his loud yet slow footsteps behind you. Like he was mocking you. As if to add on to this thought, Riddle called out. "Oh, Prefecccctttttt...don't make your new Lord Riddle wait on you...come back here and let us talk this out."  Riddle's voice held a dangerous growl to it, and you could practically hear the dark grin seeping from the male merely from his tone. This gave power to your mad dash even further, as you were now beginning to attempt to figure a way out of the maze. It seemed like you may collapse at any minute. Disaster soon struck as you turned another corner- and hit a dead end. "GAAAAHHHH! WHY IS THIS DORM SO BIG?!"  You couldn't help but to allow your hands to trail up into your locks in a stressed manner. Suddenly, you heard something begin to shuffle in the bushes. With a tiny shriek of panic, you leap back, watching in utter horror as Riddle seemed to pass straight through the rose Bush itself. His expression was rather blank until he met your gaze. Then, that smirk was back. "Finally got you~" 
You immediately put your hands up into a defensive position, ready to drop kick this boy if need be- or at least try. "Riddle, about what was said before, the words came off rather harshly and we are al-"  You were soon cut off by Riddle placing a finger into your lips. He then places one onto his own, sending a wink your way with a gentle shush. "You came into my dorm, ruined my  tea party with your little friends, and made me truly angry." Riddle's eyebrows had furrowed as he spoke. "And yet...even then...I cannot get you out of my head. Hehe." All you could do was drop your jaw in shock. Suddenly, Riddle began speaking some more- no, wait, was he partially singing?  "You are so mysterious….sealed with your kiss...my words so delirious...from the venom on your lips~" Riddle was beginning to creep towards you, that smirk now back upon his face. Your eyes dart from side to side. What was going on? "You're begging me to stay...I should just walk away. Take this sword from my heart, now I'm bleeding out~" Riddle's expression suddenly shifted to a more serious one for a moment. "I'm not a player in your game."  That smirk floated right back on, the boy now motioning to himself. "I'm the King of Hearts….the King of Hearts, my baby~" Riddle stalked towards you, making your figure begin to back up into the rose bush behind you. His finger shot out, now fiercely pointing at you as his expression seemed to shift to anger once more. "Don't you change the cards….you change the cards, my baby~"  Riddle then placed his hands upon his hips, allowing his head to tilt and a malicious grin to grace his lips now. "'Cause you tried, 'cause you tried, now you're moving onnn~"  Riddle placed a hand onto his heart directly, mad gaze now locking right onto your own. "And I love you, ohhhh I love you, though you did me wrong….'cause I'm the King of Hearts! The King of Hearts, my baby~" 
You attempt to turn around and dart back away past him- which you accomplish for a moment or so. But Riddle was already reemerging from behind another rose bush, making you jump in shock. "Never felt more and more alive...now that you're here~ you're the best I've ever had, yet you're asking where it all went wrong?" Your heart was racing so madly with confusion, it seemed like it may burst. Riddle stalked back towards you once more. He grabbed your wrist, now pulling you towards him. When you attempt to struggle, he simply smiles and allows a patch of a rose bush that was shaped like a tentacle to wrap around your waist instead. The tiny thorns held you in place as the scent of the roses themselves drifted up and into your nostrils. Riddle began to softly caress you, as though you in all your beauty were a rose yourself. His hands gently trailed up your waist, your arms, your neck… "I'm begging you to stay...I should just walk away. Take this sword from my heart, now I'm bleeding out~" Riddle allowed his hands to gently trail onto the back of your neck. Your pulse was quickening by the seconds given how close you were. Riddle's hands gently stroked the back of your neck. Soon, he leaned his head in towards your neck, softly smooching in a heart pattern. His eyes were still mad with a fiery anger yet a passion that you had never seen. "..I'm not the player in your game. I'm the King of Hearts...the King of Hearts, my baby~"  Riddle soon pulled away, now looking down into your eyes. He smirked upon spotting your bewildered expression. "'Cause I tried, oh I tried, but you're moving on~" Riddle's hands cupped your face and brought it towards his own. He allowed your head to settle itself against the side of his neck, the male releasing the tiniest of shudders at the sensation of your breath upon his neck. "..But I love you, ohhhhhhhh I love you, though you did me wrong...I'm the King of Hearts, my baby~" 
Riddle allowed a gloved finger to gently trail against your throat in a slow teasing manner- as though you were being beheaded. His singing soon stopped, his head tilting. "What's the matter, dear [Y/n]? Don't you enjoy your new Lord treating you with such gentleness? All are not as fortunate..ah, of course. You're a rule breaker. Allow me to nullify those urges." With that final growl, Riddle's lips met yours, his finger tilting your head up to him so he could achieve a better angle on you. His other hand cradled the back of your neck, his fingers gently stroking you adoringly. The Overblotted male's lips were rather hot in temperature, as though his prior anger and current passion had all shifted into them. They were also soft, though the kiss itself was a mixture of both gentleness with which you would smell the roses…but also with the ferocity of a King enforcing his will upon his subjects. Soon, Riddle separates, his eyes even more topsy turvy and filled with passion than before. 
"...Heads will indeed roll for your insolence...but maybe some hearts shall go along with it~"
((Hey hey! This is finally done! About as long as my Overblot!Leona x Reader piece! Lemme know if you wish to see a Part 2 to this one along with the Overblot!Jamil x Reader as well! Happy reading and possible simping💖 P.S. You get a cookie if you can guess the song which was referenced 👀

Riverdale 3x16 - BIG FUN
BUGHEAD IS BEAUTIFUL~
Tumblr media
Oh damn this episode is surreal in a way I’m not entirely comfortable with. But it’s exciting! Everyone’s looking forward to moving on from the craziness of dead bodies, breakups, and…drug trades. Amidst college and running businesses and stuff. Obviously. Normal high school stuff. Kinda reminds me of the nostalgia for season one.
Was the opening Mr. Musical Theater’s big number? Shucks, I wanted more of a sampling. This was mostly talk-singing, which…I’ll take. Kinda like the awkward rocking in the hallway haha.
Tumblr media
Lili wearing green makes her eyes pop and my heart go poof. Similarly to Jughead’s adoring fuzzy feelings, I’m sure. DANG. They’re in HIS room now. Are they staying together?! Yay!
Tumblr media
Aw I kinda like the idea that Betty and V would help Cheryl look and feel her best after being tossed over (ish)
Tumblr media
I love the intros. “Bro it up. Two single straight dudes” like wow.
Chainsaw line is iconic, especially when moving to cut to the title. You think Kevin was subtly trying to dig at Cheryl for forcing him to cater to her?
Tumblr media
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR - another theme of this season
Betty rolling her eyes is amazing.
Tumblr media
I love that the girls choreo’d their own fanciness. I liked Cheryl’s batch better but tbh I didn’t enjoy the dance-off and it’s hair-whip noises. Maybe it was so hyped in the behind-the-scenes videos that I found myself cringing at the octopus moves? And Toni’s batch wasn’t in sync so it was that much more awkward to watch. But I did love the “SHUT UP, TONI!” and look B+V exchanged afterwards. Yeah just gonna say up front this episode react is probably not gonna sit well with Toni stans.
Hiram dropping dramatic family stuff and racking up a bill at the Five Seasons. Who would’ve thought he’d be the one to instigate that divorce, right? Veronica cries almost disturbingly well. I’m not sure why she’d want them to be together after the assassination attempts and affairs and general shenanigans, but hey—it’s Riverdale.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh god is Betty the only one who notices the death-blue drinks and scary Gargoyle Pig person? These kids are stupid. I did catch Sweet Pea/JD with his slurpee which made me happy. FREEZE YOUR BRAAAAAIN~ Judge away the whole party, Betty. They tend not to be great luck in this town.
“Brainiac?!” Did she just call Reggie that?! HA. Oh geez I hate Evelyn (but I love her flouncy scrunchie and graphic shirts) and I hate Kevin and their stupid cult and drugs. Why can’t brownies ever be normal on a teen show?! Also, HI MIDGE!
I do love the idea of throwing a party to take ownership of Sisters of Quiet Mercy. If only it wasn’t so cult-y. Why are there people in swimsuits in the drowning tub while Archie jumps over them? Also, drugged-up dancing got some good Kevin hip waggles and some yikes s1 arrogant Reggie vibes. But Veggie is on again for 30 seconds? Okay then.
Tumblr media
Jughead eating in the background as Betty side-eyes the circle share is such a glorious mood. Aw and then hugs for V. I am LOVING this side-eye mood. How did people not know Archosie was happening when they were always in the practice room, at each other’s houses, and walking in the halls together? So much awkward is happening that the cringe levels are through the roof. Kevin’s hand on his heart was so over-the-top. I kinda loved it? And I’m surprised V didn’t have more of a reaction to the Archie stuff, tbh, even if she’s got bigger things on her mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh no Toni’s got a solo and it’s here for the color of blood. Literally. Is she pointing at their crotches? Ugh her stripping musical threesome was so insulting it made my stomach churn. They just tried to make it seem like Sweet Pea wants something deep and yet he’s ready for a random hookup again? Peaches hasn’t even had any lines or anything to do but stand around looking smug. They’re trying so hard to make Toni sexy and it’s just feeding the lesbian/bisexual slutty stereotype. Can this show do hookups? Ever? There’s been no sexual/attraction buildup to this “threesome” (honestly Toni hasn’t even been a good friend to SP lately) and there was no fallout afterwards either! She was just like, “COME STRIP ONSTAGE WITH ME and this other person you’ve never talked to but beat the shit out of you one time. Oh wait no I’m good with my clingy yet complimentary ghost gf, you two have fun byeeeee”
Jughead and Betty flirting makes me feel slightly better
Tumblr media
OH GOD NO KANGS. At this point the bile I’d been suppressing was legit in my throat. Like, why does attraction/love have to be tied to something awful 90% of the time in this show? Kevin and Fangs could’ve been a cute couple if they built up their connection beyond two lines over the course of two seasons. But no. Cult psychedelic weirdness over Midge, just like Moose and Kevin. Maybe even over Joaquin. DO WE NOT LEARN? I’m not even gonna start with the Farmies.
Tumblr media
Archosie scene. Fun spin dance, but I still think they’re cute paper cutouts of nothingness at this stage.
Oh, of COURSE Weatherbee joined a cult. Loser.
I love Cheryl’s Heather Chandler vibe and scrunchie. Good call about making Toni test the tea for poison. Aw, I kinda wanted to see Ghost!JJ.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have basically a folder full of stills of this scene and narrowed it down to these. Aw baby Jug, Betty understands better than anyone what he’s going through. When Betty was trying to get Jughead to look at her I legit felt emotional. And then they were beautiful. Forever. WE FINALLY GOT THEM DANCING! Oh and on his knees! Proposal vibes! I might’ve watched this scene EIGHT BILLION times for the eyes and hands and general endless soulmate love vibes. Like, this scene made the episode for me. They were so emotional and invested and harmonized like angels and I needed that in my life so thank you, universe. I hope Cole and Lili get to do amazing scenes like this together in the future because it was beautiful.
Tumblr media
Ch*ni kinda interrupted my mains with their totally different vibe and zero choreography, even though they did sound lovely. Neither of them have changed their behavior to make their relationship work internally, whereas Bughead are sick of the external forces of the town trying to destroy their childhood icons/innocence and bonding over their love for each other despite their familial madness. I need a Bughead exclusive soulmates cut. Thank you.
Haha um...I think closing the drug lab in general would be good? Maybe not during the musical when Betty might be vulnerable again (and the rest of Riverdale) but hey...it’s entirely possible it’s emotional and not logical of me to say that ;) Sheriff FP seems extremely unbothered by mobile drug labs in town so why should we be, right?
HIRAM! SAY IT LIKE IT IS! I love that he called out Veronica’s shock over Hermione trying to have him killed. Twice. How rude.
Tumblr media
I actually really liked Cami’s interpretation of “Lifeboat.” It’s pretty, but I’m not sure it added much to her story? Same with her attempt to have her parents go to opening night together. Maybe that song is more of an overarching theme for her story this season. Ish? But she also distances herself from people? Mehhhh overanalyzing Riverdale hurts my brain. And then her ploy to have one last happy memory is just them not looking or talking at each other and she feels worse. Ouch.
Tumblr media
Why is there so much old stereo equipment in their house? I know they worked at a garage/scrapyard, but I didn’t see any speakers? I care too much about set dressings but whatever. Poor FP is dealing with hazards of being on the job. Gladys had hilarious delivery like, “Oh nooooo. Drugs. That’s terrible.” Also, she’s totally drinking beer in front of him, a recovering alcoholic. Classy. And also telling. Jughead and Betty are just side-eyeing in the background.
Tumblr media
Did Cheryl send herself all those roses?! XD I did think the “blot” moment was cute but I still don’t understand what’s changed. I don’t even know if Veggie is a thing. Probably not. Okay then. Did love Reggie looking in the handheld mirror totally in-character though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I KNEW THEY’D BURN THE PLACE DOWN ONE DAY! Omg the puns. The fire extinguisher. The kiss—oh oh my. Arson and tender body touching. All right. I’m down. Do they have a car now? Is Bughead gonna live in it? I cannot handle their passion in the best way possible.
Tumblr media
The finale choreography was terrible. Oh my god was that cringe. I mean, couldn’t we at least get them looking at each other for a sec like the adorable Bughead moment of holding hands? Or someone helping V when looking at her parents? I get that they’re entreating the audience to be better (like Betty’s speech a billion years ago), but it didn’t hit the mark with me for some reason. My expression was mostly a mix of the Jones’. Was it just me, or did everyone onstage look like they were in some range of pretending really hard not to feel uncomfortable?
Tumblr media
HI CHAD! The cult is terrifying. Also, if all the psychos are there, why aren’t Alice and Polly in attendance? The woooooorst. Was no one else inclined to clap like a normal person? Evelyn in general was interesting, trying to earn her father’s approval and everyone’s trust, but it’s usually so messed up on drugs and stuff that I don’t quite enjoy her scenes. Everything with the Farm is usually deferred, which annoys me, but we’ll get our answers soon, I’m sure. I want more Chad. I’m curious if the buildup is gonna pay off ^-^
And people are going through windows next time?
I really wanted the “hell” line from Heathers when Bughead came back from burning stuff down but I will live. Okay. Put our bids in for next season’s musical now and how long it’s gonna take us to get a promise/engagement ring on Bughead. Thank you.

Respawn Point Ch. 7: A Guide to Totally Legitimate Advertising Practices
“I swear to Notch…” Slenda groaned. She tried to push off the ground, her arms wobbling under her weight. San falling on top of her didn’t make it any easier. My mind hazy from the fall I tried to move, only for a stabbing pain to shoot from my leg. The limb was twisted by the fall, my right ankle bent at an odd angle and a crooked angle broken into my left. Fall damage… I thought to myself.
As my body fell into a helpless, sore lull, my eyes began to roam around the walls of our prison. It was a tall chamber with walls carved from ancient sandstone and the ceiling pouring dust around us in a veil. The walls were lit sparsely with torches and lined with texts in a strange language, likely stolen from a desert temple somewhere just to fit the aesthetic, or maybe it was just conveniently in the ground.
 We’d landed in a small sandy pit in the center, the light from the surface contained in a small square high above our heads. Our captor stood under two torches in front of us, a golden eye glinting softly from under the tip of his hat. He was thin, his body draped in a blue coat that extended his silhouette, his lengthy blonde hair spilling out from under his feathered hat. The thief looked more at place in an opera house than in an underground lair, especially with the black mask that covered his mouth and nose.
“Please..?” VillainFan42’s quivered. Slenda and I sighed. His voice always broke the façade, “I’d appreciate if you could play my game, I could really use the feedback…”
San rose groggily from Slenda’s midsection, her eyes half-lidded as her hands skidded on the piles of sand, her body rolling over Slenda’s like a drunk slime, “Oh, I have some feedback for you… VF, was it?” San grumbled. Waking up just when you can get your two cents in? I thought, scoffing, Where have I seen that before? She clawed at the sand to pull herself forward, “Let’s start with the visual representation.”
The thief stepped back for a moment, his eye moving amongst the features of the room. Begrudgingly, let her continue.
“Great use of pistons for the drop, visually stunning… But the presentation!” She grunted, pulling her jaggedly misshapen legs out from under her so-called friend, “There was no buildup! No foreshadowing or bait, I felt more surprised than anything.”
Well, you were supposedly unconscious at the time. But go on.
“Two out of five.”
The phantom thief gasped, his eye wide. He looked shattered. The thief pulled his cape closer, his strained expression clear even with his mouth covered.
“B- But, it’s a trap! Isn’t it supposed to be unexpected?”
San waggled a finger at VF. I wondered if she remembered we were his captives. Notch, he didn’t seem like he remembered either, “No no no, there’s got to be some theatricality to it. You can’t just pull the rug out from under a group like that. You need to make them afraid, let them doubt their senses, get them really looking over their shoulders! Then, when they’re at they’re most vulnerable, you wait someone to say something like “It was probably nothing” or “What’s the worst that could happen?” and WHAM!! That’s when you do it.” The thief shifted himself, turning his body just enough to face away from us. He placed a hand on his chin, tapping as he thought to himself. His hand drifted, pulling nervously at his mask. A single eye darted to us and his whole body flinched in response, almost as if he’d forgotten the three of us were laying broken in a heap on his floor.
“O- Okay, that makes sense… But wasn’t it cool when I stole all your equipment and items…?” He muttered in a quiet voice. My arm flinched, my palm patting an empty pocket. Slenda’s eyes grew wide as she reached into the collar of her sweater, her hands grabbing at air as she grew frantic. San nodded, her lower lip out. She stroked her chin, admiring the new facet of our situation.
I slammed my fist in the sand, glaring at VF, “What the Nether did you do to all our potions?! And my pickaxe!”
VF pulled at his cape in an attempt to throw his silhouette, but it just flapped feebly, the thief sighing as it fell at his side. Grumbling, he put out an arm, a ghostly mist curling up from his sleeve. The mist stretched, wisps sharpening into the form of fingers. It was more like a claw then a hand, but it moved fluidly and naturally through the air as if it was a part of him. Like an animal’s tail. He let a miniaturized pickaxe fall from his sleeve, the phantom hand catching it.
“This is my mod.” He said simply, “It’s like a… A ghost hand. It’s kinda useful.” His voice was still low. The situation began to set in, He’s definitely a threat… Not just an RPer or nerd, he’s a real modder, I thought, muscles in my stomach tightening, Though, he really does need to work on his presentation.
Slenda snapped at him, demanding our items back, but he only continued to mutter quietly about his trap, ignoring her. Honestly it was hard to tell whether he was talking to us or the floor, “I’ll try to do better next time. This went way better than my last trap though. I sealed these two adventurers in a tank of rising water where they couldn’t use their weapons--only one of them could swim—I thought it was pretty daring, but afterwards they said it was just so-so… I’m optimistic about my next one at least.”
I sighed loudly, realizing we’d returned to the trap workshop. I looked at Slenda. She was fuming, protesting sternly to a deaf audience. San and VF were too busy discussing traps.
“Yeah, that’d be an automatic zero out of five for me.” San said, laying her head on her shoulder, a confident smirk trying to mask the pain in her legs, “Too much water.”
The thief nodded thoughtfully and thanked San, the creeper girl making a short bow. Slenda coughed, calling VF’s attention. He looked at her in started confusion for a few moments before his eye lit up, his body swinging around.
“Oh! Crapbaskets, I almost forgot!”
VillainFan pressed a button on the wall behind him, the sand around us spilling and shaking as machines moved out of sight. Slenda glanced around nervously, trying to right herself on broken legs so she could run. San beamed, scanning the room, absolutely delighted at the new addition. Before we could run or even know what we were running from, a ring of iron bars rose up from the ground around us, three blocks high on all sides, sealing us in.
Our captor stood before us with a sinister pride, knowing we could do little to escape. I thought of mining my way out, but the emptiness of my pocket struck me suddenly, my heart sinking. Before we could have just broken through and limped away, mined our way out of the underground, but now…
“This isn’t half bad!” San cheered, knocking on the bars. I swear I could see VF blush.
The thief hit another button in the wall that was next to the other one, this one causing the wall behind him to open up, a door-sized chunk of the wall recessing into the sandstone around it. How long was he putting this together?? I questioned, This place is a fully functioning secret base!
The thief turned, his ghostly hand extending from his body, twisting off his shoulder, tossing the pickaxe he’d stolen at the floor so that it planted firmly in the ground. His body began to disappear in the darkness of the doorway, the light of the connected room blotted out. He cast a golden eye over his shoulder.
“No mercy, eh?” San asked, smirking.
VF chuckled, taking a long stride through the door and throwing up the end of his coat so that it flapped dramatically behind him. Crap. It actually worked this time.
“Mercy is for wimps.”
The door slammed, leaving us in the amber darkness of dim torches, the walls flickering, claustrophobic. There was an authentic pressure as he left. I started to feel unsure as I stared around at the walls, my mind pushing escape scenarios that I knew wouldn’t work. I began to doubt that we would ever leave.
“Well, at least he left us alone, maybe he’s not that smart after all…” Slenda said weakly, pulling herself across the mound she laid on, sand spilling around her in small clouds. San shrugged, “I dunno, I thought he was pretty cool at the end there.”
The blocks in the wall moved suddenly, the shape of a hat and a single eye poking around the corner.
“R- Really?” Our captor asked nervously.
Slenda stared, bemused. Her cuddle buddy flashed VF a thumbs-up and he disappeared back around the corner. Slenda’s head fell into her open hands, “We’re being held captive by a loser…”
We surveyed the cage, finding it without cracks or openings, the iron bars freshly made. It would take a while to punch through them… But it should still be possible. I propped myself up against the wall and delivered and swung my first hard at the bars, only for it to softly bounce off, almost like there was a thick padding around the bar. I tried to grip the steel only for my fingers to freeze a pixel away from it, unable to make true contact.
“What the…?”
“Aaand he has a command block active,” Slenda groaned, “Fantastic.”
I stared at the bars, imagining the protective field around them. Command blocks were a thing I’d only heard of, before now. They worked like admin commands, but were on all the time and anchored to a block. Like tiny robotic gods you could keep hidden in the floor. They could teleport large groups of people, give anyone within their field of influence items, and, unfortunately for us, make blocks in their vicinity unbreakable.
San reclined against the bars, “Dang, that ghost boy really turned this whole thing around, didn’t he? I can dig it.”
“Ugh, we could always kill each other. Whoever gets hit will go back to the Sandy Speakeasy and can come rescue the rest of us.” Slenda posited. I shivered.
"Not... A great option?" I squeaked, Slenda rolling her eyes.
I sighed, my mind beginning to skim through scenarios, flipping swiftly through plans and discarding them just as quick, my body sinking into the corner made by two bars. Can’t dig under, can’t climb over, can’t go through… Would rather not die. It was hard to find a truly practical option. I went back to the desert, retracing our encounters, trying to think of what mod I had. Nope… I thought, blowing out a disheartened puff of air, Dusty’s drinks. Not exactly useful here.
Pulling myself vertically along the bars, I got myself back to a sitting position, holding out my hand. I focused, a shiver running through my arm. “That’s right, you still have Dustin’s mod. At least we’ll be able to heal this stupid fall damage.” Slenda smiled weakly. Her eyes were unmoving. “Drinks!!” San cheered, throwing her arms up.
Smoke poured down my sleeve and into my hand. Is it for the glass? I thought, my head tilting. It spun into a round shape, sticking to the inside of my hand but never fully taking shape. The smoke stayed wispy, ghostly.  Slenda’s face lit up.
“Cyrus..!”
I turned over my hand, the mist flowing around, following it like a shadow. It began to peel away, taking its own shape. The shape of a hand.
“You don’t have Dusty’s mod anymore. You have VF’s.”
The realization was immediate and electric, as was the smile sparking across my face. My eyes tagged the space on the wall where the phantom thief had vanished, the buttons sat less than a block away. I looked at the ghostly claw shifting gently in my sleeve, tugged at by the air.
With as much dramatic flair as I could muster I threw my arm between two bars, towards the cage button, casting the ghost hand towards it like a hook. The hand flew over to the button, pausing in the air just in front of it and pressing it with an extended index finger, the bars around us beginning to sink into the sand as pistons chugged along in the walls. Adrenaline was flowing through me, my hand clenched in a confident ball, but our escape wasn’t over yet. And our legs were still broken. My eyes flashed to the pickaxe on the floor, then to San. Without words, we set a plan into motion.
Slenda pulled the pickaxe from the floor and San pushed herself up against the wall, crouching just under the buttons. I crawled up next to her, joining my crippled crew. Quick taps of boots on sandstone echoed from the other side of the wall as the thief came to investigate the source of the mechanical noises, mumbling nervously to himself as he went. Inside of a second, the blocks retracted into the wall, VF stepped out, and Slenda swung her pickaxe at his legs, the blade hooking his leg below the knee and sending him to the sandstone where San pinned him, throwing her body on top of his like a playful dogpile.
Like a reflex, his phantom hand leapt from the collar of his coat, sailing for Slenda’s throat. I cast mine out at the same time, my phantom limb snaring his, sending the two tumbling to the ground where they intertwined, both of their forms becoming confused and inert as their masses dissipated into each other. Neither of them were completely physical, but they seemed to be able to subdue each other. I wasn’t quite sure how it worked, but it was good enough for me. Slenda rifled through the thief’s pockets, tossing us morsels of food as she restored her own inventory. The food tasted like sand, but my bones didn’t care. They snapped back into place, healing as good as new, my stomach and health both topped off. VF huffed impatiently.
“How was I supposed to know you could copy mods…?” He griped, “Doesn’t this break the whole foreshadowing rule, San?”
The creeper girl put a finger to her chin, considering it, but Slenda delivered a swift kick to the thief’s side and reminded San not to listen to our captive. The creeper girl shrugged it off, her body falling limp and heavy on the thief once more. As feeling returned to my legs, I stood and stretched, craning my neck into the sandstone doorway. There was light on the other side, and I could see the edge of a chest. VF uttered muffled protests, but with our phantom arms wrestling in the sand, he couldn’t stop me from entering his sanctum.
I stepped out of a raucous hostage situation and into a quiet study. The room was made of sandstone blocks as well, but had walls checkered with orange wool and decorated with frames. Each frame held a small item or tool, most of which were completely alien to our world. A collection of stolen mods. At the end of the room was a command block with a lever atop it, and behind it a ladder that was enveloped in the orange light of the afternoon above. But something else caught my eye.
On a nearby table was another strange, likely modded, device; a box-shaped contraption with a glass lens on the front and a lamp on top. Near it was a frame, likely where VF was about to store it, and a pile of pictures printed on clean white paper. They were clear as if you had seen them with your own eyes, but didn’t seem painted or made by hand in any way. The picture on the top of the pile interested me the most… Because Slenda and Roxxie were both in it. With two others.
"Aren't these weird?" Slenda asked, pulling one off the wall. A few were pinned to the wall with swords and daggers, most depicting interesting locations like ruins or other players’ creations. I tapped my finger against the one with Slenda and Roxxie and her eyes drifted to it, resting on it for a few moments before exploding open. She clawed the photo from the desk, holding it close to her face.
“How did… He get this picture?” She searched the desk for more pictures she recognized, seemingly finding several, her heart practically jumping through her sweater. She lifted up the boxy device likely responsible for the images, turning it over in her hands, “And Penelope’s camera!”
The sound of dragging cloth came from the hall as San stepped in, holding VF by his collar. Apparently San had gotten bored of holding him while we advanced the plot. She didn’t have to do much work to hold him though. No wispy hand extended from his cloak and the shine in his golden eyes was replaced by a half-lidded malaise as he waited for his bad day to end. He looked completely defeated.
“Please don’t be so rough… I’m not wearing any armor, so my health is pretty--”
He looked up at Slenda, then the camera in her hands. His golden eye shined as his face contorted under his mask. I was expecting a yell, a scream, but he only spoke in his same frail voice. “H- Hey! P- Please put that back where you found it..! It’s mine.”
Slenda scowled at him, wrapping the device tightly in her arms. He tried to get to his feet and jump towards her but San knocked him onto the sandstone floor and promptly sat on him. A dry gust of air was shoved from his lungs, his arms falling flat on the floor. I knew how much she weighed… He wasn’t getting up anytime soon.
“You stole this from my friend, I’m taking it back.” Slenda growled, cramming the camera into her inventory.
“That’s fair…” The thief sighed into the stone. Honestly, I felt kinda bad for him. I stepped forward, hands on my hips. “Come on, dude,” I urged, “You’re a desert thief! You say something cooler than that!”
“G- Give that back… Darn it!” He cursed quietly. San looked at me, an uneasy smile on her face. She moved off of him slightly, now just holding him down with her arm. “I’ll settle for split custody… I follow you guys to Giant’s Way, we trade it back and forth. I just like it ‘cause it looks cool…”
Slenda stepped forward, a suspicious twitch in her eye, "How did you know we were going to Giant's Way?" She questioned.
"I was there in the bar." Phantom leered back at her, "How do you think I was able to set up this trap? I mean, if you guys wandered a different direction I'd be--"
San’s eyes lit up, her hand leaving his back entirely. It was strange but, rather than terrified or bemused of the masked dork, I was honestly impressed. I mean, of his trap making abilities of course, not of his combat skills, theatrics, or social skills or… Well you get the idea.
I let out a “Wow” without even thinking. Slenda leered at me.
“You built this all overnight?!” San gleamed. Slenda’s face remained stone, “That’s incredible!! You should join our crew! We’re gonna have to fight this really powerful modder who beat up my girlfriend and got her kicked out of our server. You even know the area so you’d be great for the job!!”
“Really?” VF asked, his voice breathless but filled with enthusiasm.
“No.” Slenda countered, squinting at the pair, "I know Roxxane probably just seems like a monster to you... Or maybe even less... But she's my friend," Slenda gazed into the photo, scanning the image, “And we’re going to try diplomacy first. I don’t intend on dropping her down some sandy death pit… Or blowing her up. And I doubly don’t intend on taking someone who just tried to leave us for dead along for the ride.”
San looked up at her cuddle buddy with puppy dog eyes. The soft eyes behind Slenda’s cracked lenses faltered for a moment, but as her fingers traced the photo her eyes once again became cold, hard pearls. She put the picture in the neck of her sweater, depositing it in her inventory. I put a hand on her shoulder. She flinched at first, glaring at me, but her eyes quickly softened. Crouching next to VF, I took a deep breath.
“Do you guys actually want to take me along?” VF asked, his voice pricked with genuine excitement, but dripping with anxiety. I looked at Slenda, who squinted at me. I knew it looked bad, but San was right… At least partially.
“It’d be kinda hard to take you on considering only one of our members actually trusts you...” I sighed, scratching my head, “But I’d be lying if I said you wouldn’t be useful.”
Even if he couldn’t be an ally, he could be our guide. Slenda scoffed, her feet scratching the sandstone. I didn’t look at her. “She won’t let us bring you along, but do you have any information that could help us? Or anything we can use to our advantage? I’d appreciate it at the very least.”
The thief brought himself to his knees, dusting the sand off his pants and coat.
“I have friends in the next server, I could let them know you’re coming and they could help you out. Give you supplies or help you if things get ugly.”
I nodded, clapping a hand against the thief’s back. A cloud of sand sprayed from his mask. He groaned, but continued. His tone was bright, he sounded excited to help out even if he was more of a hostage than anything.
“There’s also a pool of lava beneath Giant’s Way. A huge one. So try to avoid that… And um, there’s a shrine to Herobrine in the center. I know some modders believe in that stuff, so she might be there. It’s in the middle of the big temple part. Can’t miss it.” A breath left the thief as his chest came against the tops of his legs, his body curling up. At least we don’t have to restrain him. It looked like we’d be able to walk out of here without much problem.
I looked at Slenda, thinking about the pictures she so quickly sealed away. The people she was hiding. There was a man and a woman, both around her age, though the man stood behind them all. He had a powerful air about them. Slenda and the others were all smiling, holding each other. It looks like one of the few happy memories Slenda has. How come she’s hiding it from us? I didn’t want our group to have any more secrets, not after the whole San incident, but now didn’t seem like the time to ask. I rose to my feet, a hand on my hip. “Sorry for making this brief VF, but it looks like we’re gonna have to go. Can’t keep Roxxie waiting.”
“O- Okay...” He sighed, “I’m gonna take a nap.” Too bad he wasn’t coming with us. Honestly, looking at his beat-up form curled up on the sandstone floor, hearing his tired voice croak in his chest, I couldn’t relate to anyone more. Just another dork wearing a coat too big in the heat, beat up and given up on looking cool. Oh well… I thought, Maybe next time, when we meet outside of a trap. Maybe we’ll even get along.
“Well enjoy your nap my dude!” San grinned, “We’ll be seeing you!” She delivered a hearty pat to the thief’s back, which apparently took the last of his health.
With a guttural oof, VillainFan42 vanished, leaving only a cloud of smoke and some scattered belongings. The three of us looked at each other for a moment, each face as baffled as the last. San pulled her lips between her teeth. I couldn’t tell if she was cringing in guilt or trying to hold back a laugh. After a few seconds, her hands clapped together. She pointed them towards the ladder
“So uh, Giant’s Way then?” she asked the two of us. We nodded. “Giant’s Way.”

The Orchid Skin Water Powder Cushion review. Thank You @theorchidskin and @0.8l_usa for this #gifted opportunity in exchange for my honest review and opinions. The Water Powder cushion improves the look of your skin by instantly reducing oiliness and setting your makeup for up to 12 hours using the moist soft puff and sponge. The main ingredients are Rice Ferment Filtrate, Damask Rose Flower Water, Salvia Flower Water, Lotus Flower Water, Centella Asiatica Extract, and Cherry Blossoms Extract! Good news for us combination and oily skin gals, the water powder is most effective on oily and combination skin rather than dry skin! The water powder is multifunctional, great as a primer, setting powder, and makeup blotter. The large size puff even makes the powder functional as a body powder, perfect for armpits (not for me 😅), folded body areas, décolleté, legs, and arms. Here are some benefits especially for combination/oily skin: great oil absorption, shine free matte makeup primer, and sweat adsorption. How to use: Thanks to the water powder cushion, I don’t need oil blotting papers or a tinted face powder which can cause makeup buildup! Simply pat or dab the soft smooth sponge on your oily T-Zone areas , forehead, nose, and chin for a clean, clear, soft, smooth matte result. My Thoughts: I like the soft cool feeling upon application, it dries down matte and is fragrance free! In my humble opinion, the powder is perfect for a natural/casual, no makeup, daytime look or to freshen your face during the day. The Orchid Skin Water Powder Cushion is available on Amazon retails $29.99, swipe my photos for more detailed information. . . . #faceprimer #translucentpowder #skincare #skincareroutine #kbeauty #oilyskin #glowingskin #koreanbeauty #mattepowder #essence #skincareaddict #skincarecommunity #skincarejunkie #beautynblingbling #amazon #waterpowder #healthyskin #selfcare #selflove #beautifulskin #softskin #mattemakeup #oilblotter #fragrancefree #beauty #texturetuesday #primer #beautytester #skincarelover (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpt0twBGkE/?igshid=3egqqun9er6k

The Peters Legacy
Hey guys, I know a lot of people have gotten confused with this legacy/generation. Only a few remember previous generations so lets just focus on the current one. 
Tumblr media
Anthony Benjamin Peters - Dad of this generation. Born into a small family, grew up in a small town and lived on the family farm. Works as an assistant pastor while taking online courses to attain a pastoral licence. (He use to work as a truck driver for local farmers but recently decided a career change). Son of Benjamin and Rose Peters, oldest brother to identical twins Dean and Charles, and two younger sisters, Holly and Moriah Peters.
Tumblr media
Angeline Emile Peters - Mother of this generation. Born into a medium-sized family. Grew up all over, mostly in cities, but spent her last few years of school in a small town. Stay at home Mom but works as a substitute teacher when needed. Often spends time leading the worship team, playing the piano and vocal. Also directs the childrens plays and is the co-ed teacher at the families home church for ages 5-9. Daughter of Hannah and Peter Murphy, oldest sister to Kyla, fraternal boys, Jonathan and Joshua “Blue”, and triplets Mila, Maddox, and Matthew.
Tumblr media
Maxton James Peters - oldest son of the Peters family, adopted when he was 13 months old. Maxton was born with a condition called hydrocephalus, which means he had fluid buildup in his brain. Because of this he lost all hearing in his right ear, in which he wears an aid, and often has memory blots. Loves spending time with his siblings and enjoys being in a big family.
Tumblr media
Auden Jay Peters - second oldest, and first biological, son of the Peters family. Basically Maxtons “twin”. They grew up close together and are only 5 months apart in age. Auden also loves being in a big family but has his moments where he wants to be alone, when this happens he likes to escape to Mama and Papa’s home office upstairs and read or play on the computer. He enjoys creating his own stories.
Tumblr media
Francesca “Frankie” Kyla May Peters - oldest daughter of the Peters family. Frankie is fairly independant, she loves playing house with her younger siblings and often plays their “Mother”. Determined to learn as much as she can and have a big family of her own one day (and before you ask..yes..shes only 7) and teach them all she’s learned.
Tumblr media
Delilah Sandy Rose Peters - second oldest, adopted, daughter of the Peters family. Dee was adopted into the family just over a year ago (sim time). Through this time she has shown a bit of dependency on her new family. Delilah has a hard time with school as she has security issues from being tossed around in foster care. The Peters are sure this will get better with time as Delilah learns that this is now permanent, the Peters aren’t going to stop loving her or give her away. And they can’t wait to watch her grow!
Tumblr media
Olyver Serenity Kay Peters - third daughter of the Peters family. Lyvvy has been the hardest girl for the Peters to raise. She has been the quickest to learn, was the youngest to walk, talk, and is often a bit of a “dare devil”. She enjoys cuddles and absolutely LOVES talking to Mommy’s tummy. 
Tumblr media
Titus John Spencer Peters - third son of the Peters family. Fraternal twin to Tatum Peters. Titus has been a bit of a new experience for this family. He is constantly doing things a bit independently. He didn’t need the walker to learn how to walk, didn’t spend as much time in tummy time before he figured out how to scoot which quickly became crawling. And another really neat and surprising thing is his ever changing hair! Just like his daddy, was born with light hair that slowly darkened over his first year. Thinking his hair would become a dark brown, like Anthonys, but instead it became ginger like his twin and grandmother Rosie! 
Tumblr media
Tatum Grace Brenna Peters - youngest child of the Peters family (for now c:) and fraternal twin to Titus Peters! Tatum was a surprise baby, when the family learned about Titus they had no clue he was a twin at all, Tatum was “hiding” as the doctors said. When she was born she was completely blue and without a heart beat..The family thought they would lose her. The doctors were able to get her breathing and her heart began to beat, after that she spent a lot of time with skin-to-skin contact with Momma to keep her body warm. The doctors said she might not even make the first month..but here we are ten months later with a healthy and happy baby girl!
Feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions!

New Post has been published on My Fitness and Nutrition Store
New Post has been published on http://myfitnessnutrition.princefamily33.com/2019/05/01/read-this-piece-to-enjoy-your-beauty-routine/
Read This Piece To Enjoy Your Beauty Routine
TIP! Try a night-time application of Vaseline for your feet. This softens them and makes them smooth, almost as if you had just come from having a pedicure.
Once, beauty advice only mattered to women in a particular age group. Nowadays, both men and women of all ages know how helpful beauty advice can be. There is more to beauty than getting blessed with good genes. Use the tips below to give your beauty the boost it needs.
TIP! Sunscreen is considered to be the end-all and must-have defender in terms of beauty products. When selecting your sunscreen, make sure you choose one with healthy ingredients and antioxidants.
For a quick-fix, keep an empty jar filled with face moisturizer in your purse or car. Containers of this size can be easily carried wherever you go. Use a dab of moisturizer when your skin is dry.
TIP! You should moisturize your face. Whether your skin is naturally dry, greasy or somewhere in between, it is important to use a moisturizer daily.
Use a curler on your lashes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it can make. Your eyes look look bigger and brighter when you take the time to curl your lashes. You can also use heated eyelash curlers, which can increase the amount of time the curl lasts.
TIP! Pimples can sometimes appear unexpectedly and catch you unprepared. If you have experienced this, you can enjoy a quick fix by placing a tiny blot of toothpaste on the pimple.
Research as shown that symmetrical faces seem to be the most beautiful. This means you need to seek symmetry. From trimming your eyebrows to highlighting your cheeks, keep it balanced.
A puffy brush with matte powder can help you blot out facial oil. Add a bit of shimmer to your cheekbones to further enhance your nighttime look.
TIP! Use a creamy rose colored blush to soften the bone structure of your face. Try applying your blush on the apples of your cheeks and fanning it out towards temples.
These processes open your follicles, and tanning during this time can cause issues. If you do it anyway, you take the risk of severe irritation. Also, avoid scented products after waxing or sugaring, as it can cause irritation as well.
TIP! A “hot spray” can be used to protect hair from heat damage during blow drying. This product should be applied before using a blow dryer.
Make sure you wash makeup off your face before sleeping. You should us lukewarm water with a gentle washcloth or a good makeup removing solution. After that, simply cleanse your face as you normally would. If you don’t remove make-up, it will clog your pores and you are more likely to get acne.
Makeup Pencils
TIP! Many people find honey to be great for natural beauty treatments. It has many benefits when applied topically and eaten.
Make sure your makeup pencils are sharpened. Sharpening will also make them clean, and they will produce a clean line. Makeup pencils are easier to sharpen if you put them in your freezer for 10 minutes first.
TIP! Avoid caffeine when you are getting serious about your beauty routine. You can be jittery and look tired if you getting too much caffeine, and extended overuse can make you look older than you are.
Do you have trouble with your nailpolish getting chipped? Use a clear top coat so that your nail polish stays fresh looking. Clear nail polish is an entirely different product, so be sure you use a top coat for maximum durability. Purchase a quality top coat for this purpose.
TIP! Boar bristle brushes are great if you have frizz issues. Many people have problems with frizzy hair.
Use a tiny bit of a teabag on a ripped fingernail to repair it. Before doing this, get rid of the leaves from the teabag. Then, cut a small patch from the teabag making sure your patch will cover the tear. The last step is to put it on the torn area and use clear nail polish to cover it.
TIP! You should always do an allergy test before putting on fake eyelashes. To find out if you are allergic, apply a small amount of eyelash glue to your arm.
Keep some of your beauty products in the refrigerator. In summertime, this can be extra helpful. If you keep your toners, oils and lotions in the fridge, you can put them on even if you are experiencing a heatwave. You can even cool yourself off thanks to lotions.
TIP! The oldest and easiest beauty treatments tend to be the best. Lemon and egg whites mixed together make a great tightening mask.
Luscious eyelashes can create a gorgeous, yet dramatic, look. Implement the use of an eyelash curler prior to using mascara. Doing this can give you dynamic eyes that stand out.
If powdered mineral makeup makes you feel itchy, try to find one made without any bismuth oxychloride. This ingredient often irritates skin, but not all brands use it.
TIP! Coconut oil makes the perfect go-to beauty product. Natural coconut oil fights the aging of skin through the natural antioxidants it contains.
Wash your makeup brushes frequently. A bathroom sink that is full of warm water with a tad of baby shampoo is an ideal place for working the bristles clean. Thoroughly rinse the applicators, and then allow to dry on a clean hand towel. Doing so will minimize the chance that any makeup buildup or bacteria will collect in the brush and cause acne breakouts.
TIP! Slather the Vaseline on your feet, put your socks on, and keep them on all night. In the morning, the skin on your feet will be noticeably softer.
Beauty is more than just genetics. Anyone can be more beautiful with some effort. Some effort and good advice can make for great results. These tips should help you get the most out of your new beauty regimen.

Quick 5 Step DIY Spa Facial at Home!
Self-care you can (Yes you can!) do at home.
I bet you never take time for yourself. These hectic days as the season changes, I am urging you to nurture yourself with a little self-love. Instead of focusing entirely on flaws to fix and what you need to do to prepare, how about taking a little time each day to nurture yourself back to balance with a few simple, grounding steps? For the next weeks, slow down a bit and take some time to breathe deep breaths. Stand still outside a moment and absorb some sunlight. Remember to do things that inspire you. Take ten minutes to read each day. Cook some simple nourishing meals instead of grabbing fast food. Find your balance each day and then you will be able to give back to your community and our world through moving, giving, creating, and loving. Follow simple, mindful, intuitive principles that you know will lead you to a calm mind, connected spirit, and balanced body. 
 If your first thought is you "don't have the time" to treat yourself, chances are you're incorrect. If you have even 30 minutes to spare, you have plenty of time to indulge in a super sensory and satisfying facial. The truth is that taking a few minutes out of every day is so important for health and well-being. These brief moments can make or break your relationship to the most important person in your life: you. Self-love can be built through self-care, little by little, day by day.
Today, I am going to share with you how I, as an esthetician, would do an at home mini, relaxing facial. I will give you the steps I swear by for my clients and favorite products for the best, most glowing skin!  
So, put away the Instagram feed and Facebook posts, reclaim your time and give your face a little TLC! Here's how:

 *Arrange things in the best way to minimize having to keep getting up and down except for the facial steaming.
  1.Cleanse the Skin.
  When it comes to cleansing, oil removes sebum buildup, dirt, and makeup more gently to begin. To oil cleanse, rinse your face with warm water using facial sponges or cotton pads. Use about a quarter-size amount of oil and take a full minute to work it into your face. Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil or an oil blend such as Shamarwyn’s Rose Body Therapy Oil will work well for this step. When you're done, drape a warm washcloth or use facial sponges over your face and, thoroughly and gently, remove the oil.
 Follow with a mild cleanser such as Shamarwyn’s Creamy Botanical Rose Face Wash which is suitable for all skin types including sensitive.
 Wipe face with damp facial sponges or washcloth.
     2. Exfoliate 
Once your skin is cleansed, it's time to exfoliate. I like Shamarwyn’s gentle scrub with aluminum oxide crystals that are used by professionals. It will get that winter flakiness right off the surface. It's not intense or too much and smells like roses! Use one of the hot towels to drape your face and wipe away the exfoliant.
 3. Follow with a facial steam or facial compress. 
 Of course, be very careful with this step. The last thing you want is to burn yourself on spa day! Bring water to a boil in a face-size pot and add either some chamomile tea bags, a few drops of essential oils, herbs or simply steam without any additions. Once the water cools enough (test it on your wrist), pour it into a bowl or leave it on the (now turned off) stove. Hover at least a foot away from the bowl, tent with a towel over the back of your head and sit for a few minutes with the steam.
4. Pick the right mask for your skin type.
 This is as simple as asking: What is my skin like today? If it's feeling dry, try a hydrating avocado or honey mask and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes on your face before taking it off.
If you're feeling oily or like you need a detox, try a clay mask, but don’t let these types of masks dry out! You can pick up French clay from the health food store or order online. Use matcha (ground green tea) in a paste for a great detox ingredient in your mask. Use a spray bottle to spritz your face while resting or your damp washcloth to blot, keeping your skin hydrated. Now would be the time to put those cool cucumber slices on your eyes! Remove the mask after 15 to 20 minutes.
  My favorite mask, developed for all skin types is the Hydrating Caffè Mocha Masque with Dead Sea Mud, Coffee Absolute and Cocoa Extract. This mask will detox, super cleanse and leave your skin tingling and glowing from within!
 Remove mask with a hot towel draped around your face or wash cloth.
  5. Finish with a gentle toner and your favorite treatment products. 
 Finishing with your regular skin care routine.
I recommend a gentle toner like Rose Facial Toner using cotton pads to remove any residual product from the skin and refine your pores.
Follow with a good eye cream such as Botanical Hydrating Eye Crème with hyaluronic acid, green tea and pomegranate and a facial moisturizer like Botanical Hydrating Face Crème with hyaluronic acid, rose, aloe and Vitamin E.
Hyaluronic Acid is a botanical extract that holds up to 2,000 times it’s weight in moisture leaving you with plump, firm, dewy skin!
 A few drops of your favorite facial oil will complete your facial! Moroccan Rose Face Serum is light and absorbs quickly and works well under or mixed with makeup. Neroli Oil is just simply the nectar of the goddess! It will absorb after a bit and leave your skin flawless, erasing fine lines and redness. Neroli Oil is good for all skin types including mature and acne prone.
Welcome to cleaner, happier, well-loved skin!
Try to avoid sunlight for a while but be sure to use a good mineral makeup such as Jane Iredale with sunscreen if you go out!

Look And Feel Great With These Beauty Tips And Tricks
Once upon a time, only young women cared about beauty. Nowadays, people of all genders and ages are benefiting from beauty tips. After all, everyone wants to look good. Spend time going over these tips for optimum results. Here is a way to make your eyes attractive and appear larger: just brush on dark mascara. It is best to use a waterproof product. Brush away any stray crumbs of mascara and separate clumps with an inexpensive disposable mascara brush. Pimples can sometimes appear unexpectedly and catch you unprepared. If this has happened to you, a quick home remedy is to put a small blot of regular toothpaste on it. Keep the toothpaste on for around ten minutes. Toothpaste should help calm some of the inflammation and redness associated with blemishes. Using a rose or coral colored blush can help to soften your look, especially if you have a sharper square shaped face. Using your fingers, apply the cream blush to the apples of each of your cheeks, then in a gentle, tugging motion, fan the color outward toward your temples.

A "hot spray" is a great investment if you wish to protect your hair from the harsh heat of hair dryers. Hair treatments that protect hair from the repeated application of heat during the blow drying process can be found at most general merchandise stores that carry hair care products. It smells great and helps your hair retain moisture! A little handy tip is to combine foundation with a little moisturizer, as it will make your foundation last longer. It will help you achieve a more "natural" look as well as giving your face a little extra protection. Make sure that your lip liner and eyeliner stays sharpened. This way, they are always clean and ready to use. Place the pencils in the freezer or the refrigerator to harden them, and then sharpen. Before applying mascara, use an eyelash curler to curl your eyelashes. This will result in eyelashes that appear longer and the upward curl will make your eyes appear fresh and rested. Just apply the curler to the base of the lashes and squeeze. Slowly move toward the front of your lashes, in a smooth motion, then squeeze once more. This can help to give you the curve that you desire for beautiful lashes. Do your nails have a scratched look after you are finished painting? Apply a top coat. This will keep your nails looking great for up to a week. Make sure not to confuse this with normal clear nail polish, because there is a difference. Buy the top coat and not just clear polish.

Drink a juice made from fresh produce in order to add them to your diet. Simply replacing sweet drinks, such as soda, will drastically improve your skin's texture and moisture. Buy kitchen sponges to use as shower scrubs. Kitchen sponges clean bathroom surfaces as well as other types of sponges. Wash your makeup brushes frequently.
